Hope is where your dreams live

Hope …

Hope often gets shouted down, but she is strong and will not be deterred. She is the voice this world needs to hear right now. Today. She is my sustenance. Hope constantly looks skyward and expects to find the sun. Even when it’s shrouded in clouds, she knows it's there. Her confidence is unparalleled. Dressed in billowing sleeves, white and full of breeze, her smile is translucent. She’s comfortable in her own skin. 

Hope reaches forward, constantly moving one foot in front of the other. Sometimes she runs full speed. Sometimes she tiptoes cautiously when her nemesis, Doubt, lingers in a doorway like an uninvited guest. But even in Doubt’s presence, she is undaunted under the glare of his brooding furrowed brow. She flashes her wicked grin at Doubt, and Doubt has no choice but to turn and slither into the shadows from whence he came. Hope has no use for shadows. She looks over her shoulder only to smile at all of the events she knew would turn out ok.  

Her companions, Faith and Optimism, fuel her. Faith gives her the wings she needs, and Optimism can light the path, but Hope is the one who ultimately takes the leap herself. And she always soars. Her independent spirit is contagious, and those who linger in her light know freedom.
